[UPDATE November 5] 14-Year-Old Eureka Boy Disappeared From School Friday

Jesus TejedaOn Friday, Jesus Tejeda, age 14, was dropped off at Eureka High School about a quarter after eight in the morning. He never made it to class.

“This is totally out of the blue,” said his sister, Mariana Tejeda. “His grades are A’s and B’s. His teachers say they never noticed any changes…He didn’t go to any of his classes when I dropped him off. The day before he didn’t want to go to school because he was studying for Friday’s test.”

Jesus Tejeda is 5’9” with black hair and brown eyes. He weighs about 170 pounds. Jesus was last seen wearing a black jacket with a gray hood, dark blue jeans, and a backpack. He also wears glasses.

“Right now we are working with a private investigator,” said Tejeda.

If anybody has any information about Jesus’s whereabouts, please contact his sister at (707) 845-2294 or call the Eureka Police Department.
UPDATE October 31:
Jesus still hasn’t been located. Here’s a new poster that contains information on where he may have been trying to go. Please give it a minute to load.

UPDATE November 5: Jesus Is Home!!!

Look around the area especially low areas, wooded ravines near the school.

I used to live in Eureka and there are many wild creeks going through town, near the high school.

This kid doesn’t seem to be a runaway, he seems to be a good kid.

Very sad, my sympathy to the family.

Terrible that because the school may be exposed to liability that this story wouldn’t have been released on it’s inception.

Praying for the parents, I can not begin to imagine their pain.

Friday at 8:15.
There has got to be a work-truck or other parent driving near at that time. Or cameras on the back mechanics shop?
Is there a non-custody parent?

This needs to get more attention quickly!
Please,kids deserve all of our help.

I would really want to know if this kid has recently dealt w/any bullying, and if so, by whom. He does not appear to be a high-risk kid by any means, to disappear so abruptly after even so brief a mention of not wanting to go to school…that raises a red flag right there. I’d also ask the school and investigators to look into what other students had absences and/or tardies which coincided w/the morning this poor kid disappeared…& dig a little further into what they were doing and/or any interactions they may or not not have had w/him.

Based on Hmm’s comment, which I largely agree with, I doubt he will be doing any praying on whatever day you are referencing. Some of us actually prefer to take actions that will lead to actual things happening. I feel sorry for anyone or anything that is relying for prayer to save them. Gotta love how you push your delusion onto others and assume they will eventually in a desperate time come over to your way of thinking and belief. Hope that actually makes you sleep better at night.

No one pushed their beliefs onto anyone else… wait that’s not true. Can calling some delusional and saying you feel sorry for them because they believe something you don’t be considered enough of an attack to be considered pushing their beliefs on others? Or assuming that their beliefs are superstitious? Or making fun of someone so crudely?

There is a big difference between a belief and a fact. I wasn’t the one who tossed out the superstitious term because I find prayer to be far worse than simple superstition. If you actually believe that whispering words in your head will have any real life impact in finding this kid, then yes I would by definition consider you to be delusional. Sorry not sorry.

I always wonder about all the praying. Stuff happens & then other stuff happens. Prayer seldom if ever has anything to do with it, except to give comfort to the people doing it. It actually annoys me though I usually refrain from commenting. That one really bothered me. The kid’s name is Jesus. I hope you make it home Jesus.

Perhaps it’s just me, but don’t you find something wrong with people deriving their comfort from doing something that seldom has anything to do with it like you said? I find it rather fraudulent myself. If you want to put up posters or help spread the word then great. You then are actually doing something that at least has a chance of helping. Saying something with little actual real life value just to comfort yourself, well something about that I find repulsive. I would rather people either have a little less comfort or man up and face the fact that most things that happen in this world are way beyond their control and there is nothing they can do about that. Thats the beauty of the universe in my opinion.

No one should have to bother countering anything. There should be no need to prove something to someone who will refuse to understand and , when they don’t understand, hasn’t the grace to tolerate other people’s beliefs when they don’t share them.

But I will give this idea- prayer is a way that humans, when faced with something beyond their contol, can find some comfort, acceptance and understanding. It’s a way of sympathizing and comforting others where there is little comfort to be had. To let others know they are not alone, even those who don’t believe in its practical efficacy.

And, being social creatures, it is in our genes to need that kind of comfort at times. We are a group, even those who hide by themselves, alone with their computer. It makes us less mean, self involved and kinder.

Kind of like how it’s hard to explain how the earth is only 6k years old, dinosaurs never existing, and a baby being born without without the two people procreating. You know what smart, rational people would say,,, If it’s that difficult to explain perhaps you should take a second look at the foolish stuff you believe. Only if the truth matters to you though. I know many are more comfortable to live with their beads buried in the sand.

Trying to be the final authority on everything is hard enough but trying to enforce it by bullying the heck out of everyone else who is different must be exhausting. Look at the histories of despots to figure out where it ends up. They just get uglier and uglier in their attempts to straight jacket humans into conformity. The presence or absence of religion is not a factor in the end. It’s the personality of the bully that controls whether they use religion, political correctness, charity, history, science or anything else as tool to push people around.

Luckily for the rest of humanity a wannabe mini despot is usually sad rather than able. And that is something worth checking into before embarking on a pattern of attack those who are not attacking anyone else. Just keep repeating ‘It’s not all about me.’

There were kidnappers and a serial killer here long before this, its usually not the “shady” looking characters.

The local serial killer wayne ford was a long haul truck driver who had to bring a body part to the sheriffs as when he tried to turn himself in the first time they didnt believe him because he was one of them, not a “shady” looking character. That was a scary time to be a woman here. Read about blue lake and fieldbrook instances with kidnapping/murder from 80’s&90’s.

Im so glad the family hired a PI, the sheriffs are useless and will hide their own from arrest.
Prayin for the best outcome!!!
Id say look into fieldbrook/mckinleyville area just in case. The sheriff can say all he likes that the aryan nations not in mckville but they are and have been for a looooong time.

Are there really no cameras outside the school?????

Check his tablet Ipad Has he been speaking to anyone in Chat room forum? Just read a mother’s account about how her daughters were targeted and close to being abducted. They used a picture of a teenage boy to get their trust. The mother turned the tablet into the authorities and they discovered that several Adult predators in the Chat room forum had interacted with girls!

Not all chat room people are bad. When my daughter was 13 she communicated with two 13 yr old boys. I watched closely. Both lived near the east coast. Then by chance we met both of them. They were what they said, 13 yr old boys. (One at a motel swimming pool where his older sister was checked in. Small world.) A word of caution… a child should never say they are over 18. Even if you are over 18 it is a good not to say so. It is a legal thing, the predicator can say they believed they were talking with an adult.
